Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

The process has not changed from the prior year.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization is organized as a north dakota nonprofit corporation and has been recognized by the internal revenue service (irs) as exempt from federal and state income taxes under internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) and section 57-38-09 of the north dakota century code, respectively. The organization is annually required to file a return of organization exempt from income tax (form 990) with the irs. In addition, the organization would be subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to its exempt purpose. The organization has determined it is not subject to unrelated business income tax and has not filed an exempt organization business income tax return (form 990t) with the irs. The organization believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken affecting its annual filing requirements, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The organization would recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities in income tax expense if such interest and penalties are incurred.
